Turkey and Lentil Stuffed Bell Peppers

These stuffed peppers are filled with ground turkey, brown rice, and taco seasonings. But they're super customizable. This post is more of a guide on how to make stuffed peppers. Out of turkey? Use ground chicken or beef instead. Don't have rice? Use quinoa or lentils My Mediterranean Sweet Potato Salad would also make a great filling too if you're vegetarian. Or just replace the meat with beans and omit the cheese for a vegan version!

Step 1

In a small pot, add your rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce to low, and let simmer for about 20-30 minutes, until fully cooked. Set aside

Step 2

Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400F, and line a 9x13" pan with parchment paper

Step 3

Cut the peppers in half, and scoop out the ribs and seeds. Rinsing under the sink helps to remove seeds. Place cut side up in your pan

Step 4

In a large bowl, mix together the filling - cooked rice, ground meat, cheese, minced garlic, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, and salt

Step 5

Stuff the peppers, about 100 g in each pepper half. Optionally top with more cheese

Step 6

Cover the pan with aluminum foil, and roast at 400F for about 1 hour. The peppers should be tender and the meat fully cooked (at least 165F)
